Ruku-ruku leaves are used to remove distinctive odors from fish in some cuisine of West Sumatra. The characteristic odor comes from secondary metabolites especially essential oils. Therefore, secondary metabolites in ruku-ruku leaves have the potential to be further investigated as a source of bioactive compounds. The phytochemical screening of ruku-ruku leaves is a preminilary qualitative test that needs to be done to maximise its function as a medicinal plant. Based on the result data, there are some different result of flavonoid, steroids, and triterpenoids identification. Ruku-ruku leaves from Pesisir Selatan and Padang Panjang shows less flavonoid compounds tham Payakumbuh, Batusangkar, and Lubuk Alung. Both of this city and Payakumbuh also gives less steroids and triterpenoids. The factor influencing this result is caused by several factors, namely temperature, humidity, light exposure, and salinity.

Antimicrobial activities and phytochemical screening of leaves of Mikania micrantha was tested in laboratory against phytopathogenic fungi and human pathogenic bacteria. The leaves samples were extracted in distilled water and methanol. The crude extracts of leaves were assessed in-vitro for antimicrobial activity using different concentrations (50, 100, 150,200, and 250 mg/ml) against five fungal strains (viz. Sclerotium rolfsii, Phytopthora capsici, Alternaria brassicae, Fusarium oxysporum and Botrytis cinerea) and six bacterial strains (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcusfaecalis and Staphylococcus aureus). Antifungal activity was tested by Poison Food Technique and Linear Mycelium growth Reduction (LMGR) percentage was determined. In crude extractof M. micrantha, the highest LMGR percentage was found in F. oxysporum in both distilledwater and methanol extract. Antibacterial activity was carried out by Disc Diffusion method. In the crude leaf extract of M. micrantha Gram negative bacteria was found more resistant than Gram positive bacteria. Methanol extract was found more effective in determining the Zone of Inhibition for all the strains of bacteria in all the concentrations. The plant extracts were found more effective in showing antibacterial activity than antifungal activity. The phytochemicalscreening revealed that the selected species contained tannin, saponins, alkaloid, flavonoid, cardiac glycosides and terpenoids.

Free radicals are one form of reactive oxygen compounds, which are generally known as compounds that have unpaired electrons. Kemangi leaves are used as an aphrodisiac because they contain araginin which can strengthen sperm resistance and prevent infertility. Besides araginin, Kemangi leaves also contain other secondary metabolites such as essential oils, phytosterols, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, tannins, lignin, saponins, flavonoids, terpenoids and anthraquinones. Phytochemical screening results of 70% ethanol extract of kemangi herbs themselves showed the presence of secondary metabolites of flavonoids, saponins, tannins and triterpenoids / steroids. In this study, antioxidant activity was tested using the FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) method, with concentrations of kemangi leaf extract and comparative compounds Euginol each concentration of 1000 μL/ml, 5000 μL/ml, 250 μL/ml, and 125 μL/ml, 62.50 μL/ml, and 31.25 μL/ml measured at 745 nm wavelength and collagenase inhibition test with ethanol extract of kemangi leaves with a comparison of eugenol compounds measured at a wavelength of 335 nm. The FRAP antioxidant activity results obtained based on IC50 Eugenol value of 261.36 μg/ml and Kemangi leaf extract at 111.32 μg/ml, antolagenagenase from Eugenol at 255.32 μg/ml and Kemangi leaf extract at 110.65 μ/ml.
